San Antonio via Vegas.

Friday, 07 November 2008 | 07:27 am

T minus 9 days and counting! I can't believe it's almost here. I didn't actually train much (again) for this race but I tried to do more than my previous runs at least to have an ounce of preparedness for the 16th. But, before my race, I'm accompanying my mum to Vegas! ;) I guess that's kinda nice, to have a brief holiday before a holiday-ish race. Hehehe!

We're leaving for Vegas on Sunday and returning on Wednesday then leaving for San Antonio on Thursday. I have to remind myself to pack two separate bags on Sunday — one for Vegas, and another for San Antonio and hope I don't mix up the bag I bring to either destination! LOL.

p.s.,
Soz I haven't been updating this journal much… Been busy. So busy in fact that I've a demo/presentation tomorroz and then as soon as I return from San Antonio, I've another project to kick off. In other words, expect sporadic updates from me from now until the new year! ^_^

p.p.s.,
Did I mention I'm trying to write a novel in November again? You know, that NaNoWriMo thing ;) (www.nanowrimo.org)

Long Run Training: 6 miles

Friday, 07 November 2008 | 07:19 am

Notes:
Because of my hectic schedule this weekend (and thanks to Sheryl’s idea!) rather than skip this last run before the race, I’ve decided to run it this morning. My plan was to get up at 6:45AM and be by the strand by 7:10AM; naturally, I didn’t do so well — I did get up at 6:45AM but ended up being at the strand around 7:38AM! LOL. The temperature was cool but for the last 3 miles running back and into the sun. I was trying to convince myself that this is the sort of training I need to survive the possible heat in Texas but I give up too easily and found a nice shaded street where I continued my run! I ran most of the time but still not to my liking… Average pace was 12:33 min/mile and burned 608 calories. That’s not too bad considering I had pizza for lunch yesterday! AHHH.
